Thanks!
Not a prob, I dug the link up for you. It's C.P. Generator Inc. in Fontana.

Hope it helps!

So since the new battery has been installed I haven't had any more of the DBW issues. However I did note that while driving with headlights on at cruising speed it helps throttle response to leave the foglights off? Kinda odd, but when you roll unto the throttle at 80mph I noticed quicker engine response when the foglights were off vs. on.

On the other hand, headlights on or off didn't make any difference.

I also decided to replace the valve cover gasket (which was starting to seep a bit of oil), the intake manifold gasket, the throttle body gasket and the throttle body itself. Besides that I relocated the INNOVATE coolant temperature gauge sensor from the upper coolant elbow (with the radiator cap) down to an in-line adapter fitting on the lower radiator hose. So far that change has helped the gauge read closer to actual engine coolant temps, but it's still not truly accurate. I will probably swap out that gauge for a different brand.



I was pleased to see with the valve cover and the intake manifold removed that the valve train is still sparkling clean. No carbon or sludge build up anywhere. (Part of that I believe is helped by using REDLINE oil which is packed full of good cleaning detergents and anti-wear additives) The original throttle body was still very clean. Even the spark plugs look fresh and in great condition. (Note that they have been gapped small to help ensure ensure spark under high boost. I did the same thing with my turbo Miata's with the same turbo)




Peeking down the intake runners past the valves I could see the cylinder bores still look beautiful with no marring or scratching of any sort. All the honing cross-hatching by the machine shop is intact and looking good. This little engine is holding up well

Great to hear your DBW issues appear solved. I've been busy trying to fix my 'new to me' 07 Yaris RS, but have been enjoying driving my 2zr turbo hatch a fair bit. Basically, when I get frustrated with the '07, I go for a drive in the '06.

I haven't done more investigating into an ECU for my turbo car. I have been reading a bit about the ECU Master DET3. It has a "Fuel Implant Mode", where it controls the factory injectors in a batch fire sequence. I'm probably years away from building my engine for more power. As I said earlier, I'm happy with my current power, just want it a bit safer and would prefer additional fueling for knock control in closed loop. It really sounds like the DET3 could provide me with what I need for less money and possibly easier wiring, since I already have the FIC wired. Here is a segment from an article I'm linking. I think this Zach guy works for ECUMaster.

https://www.supraforums.com/threads/...e-blue.961346/

The DET3 is designed to do several things and can be installed two different ways. The first way is simply to intercept the MAP or MAF signal and the crank position sensor signal to allow you to modify fuel and timing. This also allows for MAF to MAP conversion for engines like the 7M and USDM 2JZ, as the DET3 can generate the appropriate output using a table referencing its internal MAP sensor. In this mode you can also control boost and one other power output channel such as meth injection, a shift light, etc. You also have a few analog inputs that you can use to monitor various channels and use them to modify fuel and timing.

The second method of installation is to install the DET3 in what's called "Fuel Implant" mode. In this case, the injectors are driven directly by the DET3's output channels and it's used as a standalone fuel controller. This ties up both output channels on the DET3, so you lose the ability to control boost. You can still adjust ignition timing. This mode requires more tuning and wiring than the basic installation.


Do you think this is a viable option for me if I'm happy with everything else and just want closed look fueling control?

I'm also interested in what mods you did to the fuel pump assembly to accept the 340 pump. Also, did you convert from a returnless system?

Anything that modifies fuel flow and allows the stock ECU to see the results will create issues when it goes into closed loop. I am not aware of any piggyback which can dynamically compensate for the stock ECU adjusting fuel trim in closed loop.

What you suggest with taking fuel control away from the stock ECU entirely will probably be safer but that will certainly not allow for closed loop operation. You can't deny (or dump fuel on top of) fuel control to the stock ECU and expect it to be happy enough to run in closed loop consistently.

One trick people used to do (on older vehicles) is to try and force the stock ECU into open loop whenever you dip hard into the throttle to apply boost by cutting out the 02 sensor on command.

However not every ECU goes into open loop based on O2 readings. It's essentially dependent upon load and which emissions criteria and/or functions may or may not be in play. Older cars (which I am more familiar with) switched to open loop at a certain RPMor at WOT because they had simpler emissions regs. Newer cars are in closed loop more often by design.

Regardless of whichever conditions are in play any time you try to run richer than the stock ECU wants you to, it will compensate when in closed loop operation. What matters most is how much boost is made while the ECU is still in closed loop operation. The bigger the boost the bigger the risk.

There are a few options on the market that do modify the O2 signal or somehow force a stock ECU back into open loop. (Piggyback kits for Miata's can do this) but even they work with varying degrees of effectiveness. The only ones that work well are developed specifically for a particular car.

I am not aware of any such piggybacks that were developed specifically for a Yaris. Maybe it's possible, maybe not. What you are hoping to achieve without a full standalone, I'm afraid, is just not very likely mainly because the Yaris was not offered with boost to begin with. (At least not in the US)

If it was, a piggyback controller in the league of a COBB Access Port could be used to adjust the tune relatively easily.

It wasn't that hard to convert the stock pump assembly to accept the Aeromotive Stealth 340 pump. I don't remember what I did exactly but I believe all I had to do was wire in the connector pigtail for the wiring connector, strap the pump to the 'frame' with some zip ties and maybe use a length of fuel hose. The 340 pump is actually quite compact for what it is.

I could pull the pump out again to refresh my memory and take a picture for you.

Yes my Yaris is no longer a return style fuel system it is a dead-head.

Thanks for the detailed info! I think my car does go into open loop mode when the throttle is fully depressed, or nearly fully depressed. I get a nice fat AFR when floored, somewhere in the vicinity of 11.5:1 and the car's ECU doesn't seem to be pulling any fuel under these conditions. It's partial throttle and transitioning into boost that it may hesitate. If I increase throttle input linearly, it will sail right through the rpm range smoothly. If I have cruise control engage and the car is running up a steep hill, for example, and hits around 2 - 3 psi, the AFR gauge will start to fluctuate and it may cause a hesitation. Even a slight tap on the throttle will smooth this out. I did play with the 02 spoofing capabilities of the F/IC by inputting various 'experimental' voltages into the 02 map. At around 3 psi, it will send a voltage of something like 2.6v to the ECU and it enriches the mixture. My problem is that I haven't yet been able to put in incremental voltages that result in a smooth AFR through the various boost levels. I want to be able to say, for example, I want 12.5:1 from 1 - 2 psi, 12.0:1 from 3 - 5 psi, 11.5:1 from 5 - 8 psi etc, and have that happen. I am not sure if the DET-3 "Transplant Fuel" mode can do this.

I tried following the procedures in the video linked below, but every time I entered even the sightest decimal vlotage, my fuel trims went something like -20, regardless of how large or small the voltage input was. As perviously mentioned, I did manage to trick the ECU into delivering a rich AFR with ~2.6v in a section of the 02 map, but couldn't achieve a smooth and consistent richness as psia, rpms increased.

Maybe I will ultimately have to go with a standalone, but I'm hesitant at this point as I think it would be a nightmare figuring out how to control all the peripherals (DBW, A/C, cruise control etc, etc). I expect I'd be looking at many, many shop hours to get it working and then tuned.

Fuel pump - So you're returnless? Isn't the Yaris returnless to begin with? Is it as simple as the wiring and strapping the pump to the assembly? No need for a fuel pressure regulator or anything else? I don't think I'm fuel starved even at full boost/rpm, though if I hold on the throttle through 6000 rpm, it will slowly start to lean a bit. I don't worry about this a lot currently, as I rarely stay in boost for long at high rpm and I have a decent amount of water being injected above 3 - 4 psi. I've seen an AFR of as lean as high 12s at 7 - 8 psi and 6000 rpm. Again, my intake temps were low (in the 70s F), high rpm, so less cylinder pressure and close to 180cc of distilled water being injected into the throttle body.

If it is not a big job to yank your pump for a shot, that would be fantastic. However, please don't go to the trouble if it is an inconvenience.

Thanks again. Great stuff!
